Forumatic Hosting Shutting Down

Wasn't sure where to post this, but feel free to move it if necessary.
Got an email from Forumatic which hosts the Abacrone forums, notifying me
that they are shutting down on Dec 20th. Just wanted to pass this along to
any other servers that may be using them and haven't heard yet.
I will have to look for a different host, I guess.

Hello Dan,

We are sorry to have to inform you that Forumatic is going to shut down its services on December 20th, 2016. Please visit https://www.forumatic.com/shutdown/ to view the full announcement and for instructions on how to move your community to a new hosting provider.

Best regards,
Your Forumatic Team

Wait... You have both a website and forums and you run them on different boxes... why?

Edit: This does go a little ways toward explaining why you have 2 different websites at least. :P

Yes, they were both seperate. (.com for website and .net for forums)
I ended up doing it that way because the website was purchased first, which I originally
planned to put forums on it, but I was too quick in the punch and later found out that
wasn't possible, so then I grabbed a subscription at Forumatic to host the forums which
was only 12 bucks a month anyways.

I mean he still uses a console prompt to browse the internet(got to end those lines before they
cut off).
